- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.501(a), with Ellison Technologies of Charlotte, NC, to repair a NIST-owned DMU 70 5-axis machine manufactured by DMG/Mori Seiki. As part of the NIST Engineering Laboratory's Measurement Science for Smart Machine Tools project, NIST engineers develop measurement methods and standards to optimize and improve performance of complex 5-axis machine tools. A DMU 70 5-axis machine, operating with the original factory installed Seimens 840D controller serves as a test bed to support this research. Continuity and credible demonstration of improvement require the continued use of this machine. The DMU 70 is currently malfunctioning and requires service. Initial diagnosis of the problem indicated the need for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, a PCU 50, be replaced. In order to properly repair the machine, the service technician must have expertise in running the DMU 70 and the Siemens 840D controller and have access to the DMG archived files from previous service calls on this piece of equipment. Further, in order for the newly installed part to qualify for the six month warranty, the part must be installed by a DMG-certified technician. Sole source determination is based on Ellison Technologies being the exclusive distributor for DMG/Mori Seiki in the geographic region of Maryland and their meeting all of the qualifications identified. Delivery terms shall be FOB Destination. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 811219, and the size standard is $19.0M. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, however, responses received by January 6, 2012, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
